A finance team intranet
The page a finance team opens every morning: where the close stands, what changed in policy, and the handful of links they use through every reporting cycle. Below is a concept design for one team, built entirely from web parts that ship with SharePoint.
- Audience a corporate finance team
- Build time about one day
- Licensing Microsoft 365, no add-ons
Concept design, hand-coded to preview the layout. Harbourstone Credit Union is fictional; all names, numbers and photos are illustrative. The real page is built directly in SharePoint.

What you’re looking at
Nothing on that page is custom-built. Every block is a standard SharePoint web part, set up by an editor with permission to the site.
Click a card to see the exact steps for building it.
01 Hero + Quick Links The banner is the Hero web part; the six tiles overlapping it are a Quick Links web part. An editor sets each image and link, nothing more.
- Edit the page, then click the circled + to add a section.
- Choose the Hero web part, pick a layout, set each tile’s image and link.
- Below it, add a second web part: Quick Links.
- Switch Quick Links to the Grid layout; add each link with an icon and label.
02 News web part The list layout. Anyone with edit rights publishes a News post on the site and it surfaces here, newest first, with the author pulled from their profile.
- Add a web part and choose News.
- Set the news source to This site.
- Pick the List layout and how many posts to show.
- Staff use + New, then News post; new posts appear here, newest first.
03 Bing Maps web part “Our Branches” is the native maps web part. Add an address and SharePoint drops the pin. No embed code.
- Add a web part and choose Bing Maps.
- Type a branch address into the search box.
- SharePoint drops the pin and centres the map.
- Set the zoom level and pin label, then save.
04 Coloured sections The four resource panels are Quick Links web parts sitting on a section with a brand-colour background. Section backgrounds are a built-in setting.
- Hover the section’s pencil handle on the left edge.
- Pick a section background colour from the site theme.
- Drop a Quick Links web part into each column.
- Reuse the colour on other sections for rhythm.
05 Quick Chart + Power BI Bar and progress visuals are the Quick Chart web part. The gauge is a Power BI tile, embedded with the Power BI web part.
- For a bar or pie, add the Quick Chart web part and type the values.
- For richer visuals, build the report in Power BI first.
- Add the Power BI web part and paste the report link.
- Choose which page or tile of the report to show.
06 Copilot Agents web part The right rail is a dark vertical section. The agent cards are the SharePoint Copilot Agents web part: current, supported, no code.
- Create or pick an agent in Copilot, scoped to this site’s files.
- Edit the page and add the Copilot Agents web part.
- Select the agent, or agents, to display.
- Publish; staff can chat with it without leaving the page.
